No more than a faint hope for 4th, if we’re close to Spuds when they have that four game run we’ll have a chance. Slightly  more optimistic for 5th. I thought Manure were terrible v Everton, any half-decent team would have beaten them. They’ve got to get three more wins than us in the next 11 games, and that’s if we don’t draw any while they’re winning them.

Need Ramsey back and Tielemans to step up while SJM’s out. I’d be tempted to put Ramsay back in CM if he can ever get fit.

I'm not giving up yet. We lost yesterday because we were mismanaged. Spurs and Man utd are not better than us.

I know there's debate about the merits of ECL vs the league but in a way I think Ajax being next up could help us. Different competition, different circumstances, might free us up a bit and give a confidence boost.

Having thought we were doomed after the Man Utd game and been proved wrong, my coping strategy after yesterday is to be insanely optimistic. Still plenty of points to play for, do you want to bet against us etc.

That's the worrying thing though, Man U have mostly been shit, but they often find ways of picking up points from those games. When we're bad, we're really, really bad. I just hope we can bounce back like we have before.

Yes, that is the worrying part, but the again they were only five points behind us after they beat us, and now it’s eight so that’s progress. Also on the plus side, it’s only 10 games, not eleven as I stated above.

Id be delighted with 5th and winning the conference.  I think we all would! Hopefully a statement win over ajax transforms the season.

Just wish we would be more competitive against the better sides in the 2nd half of the season. Not build it up as we know how important this game is then just implode like yesterday

Who have Man Utd got? Not us, thankfully.

EDIT: Brentford and Chelsea away, Liverpool at home next three. I wouldn’t fancy us in that run.

Fair enough, but it’s not cut and dried how either of us will do IMO.

I'm keeping the faith we have been brilliant this season I don't think we will just let it slip away.

I really want us to win the conference, yes it’s not a real ‘premium’ competition but it’s still a worthwhile one, we haven’t won a proper trophy since 96. It would also be a big confidence boost and get the players in the mindset of winning things. Winning breeds winning so I hope we go all out. Having said all of that I’m not confident about Thursday, our home form of late is utter shit and although they’re not that good at the moment this is still Ajax. Chelsea had been largely shit up till our cup replay.

League wise I said before Tottenham we’d be 5th or 6th, I can’t see too many points till the end of the season but I can’t see anyone catching us other than Tottenham and Man Utd. Based on their points average so far it’ll be tough for Man Utd but you just know the ****** will probably do it, most likely on fucking goal difference.
